FTSPARK
WARNING
If the maximum internal operation temperature is exceeded, the FTSPARK
thermal protection reduces power output to prevent hardware damage,
regardless of user programming, which may cause abnormal ignition.
Operation with CAN network
When the CAN network is connected to a FuelTech ECU, the ENERGY LEVEL
input is ignored and the energy level is set by the ECU via CAN.
6.6 Wasted spark operation (750mJ Only)
The FTSPARK has 2 banks of capacitors that are alternately connected at
the outputs. The first bank of capacitors fires the “odd” outputs, which are
designated A, C, E and G, and the second bank fires the “even” outputs,
designated B, D, F and H.
To obtain the maximum performance, the installation must always consider
the sparks alternating the use of the capacitor banks, that is, 1 spark on one
“odd” bank and the next on one “even” bank, and so on.
Doing so will allow the operation on rotary engines (which has the sparks timed
very close to each other) and wasted spark on engines with up to 4 cylinders.
IMPORTANT
Only engines with 4 cylinders or less can use the wasted spark
configuration. Engines with 5 to 8 cylinders must use sequential
ignition.
6.7 Safety Features
The FTSPARK has many internal safety protections to avoid damage to the
product in case of misuse or improper installation.
Every failure is automatically reset, that is, if the error is gone, the FTSPARK
resumes operation normally.
Some protections require special attention.
The errors 41 and 43, which are related to a failure to charge the internal
capacitors, prevent the FTSPARK from functioning if they occur 10 consecutive
times. Normal operation is resumed when the error trigger signal is absent.
Removing the power is not needed.
The error 22, related to operation while overheated, has 2 stages of protection.
If the temperature is above 203 F, but less than 212 F, the energy is reduced
to 400mJ, regardless of map table or external command. If the temperature
goes beyond 212 F, the FTSPARK is turned off.
